This is my submission for Ambient Online’s “One Sample Dare” recurring challenge, #13.  See http://www.ambientonline.org/forum/showthread.php?1664-One-Sample-Dare-13 for more details.

I created 2 new samples from the original recording:

Sample_A:  Cropped the first 29 seconds of the recording, then mirrored it (like a single ping-pong loop).  Then I stretched it to be 8x the original length with PaulStretch, swapped the left/right channels, and added fade in/out.

Sample_B:  Cropped the first 42 seconds of the recording, then mirrored it (like a single ping-pong loop) and added fade in/out.

Then I brought those two samples into Renoise for sequencing and effects.

Track 1:  Play Sample_A 2 octaves lower.
Track 2:  1 minute later, play Sample_B 3 octaves lower.
Track 3:  1 minute later, play a second instance of Sample_A 1 octave lower.

Tracks 1 & 3 are routed to a shared effects track, which has an Exciter to enhance 500Hz and 2kHz and a reverb (native effects in Renoise).

In addition to sending audio to the Master track, that effects track also sends its audio to a second effects track, which has a high pass filter at 1kHz to filter out all the bass.  There is also a resonant bandpass filter, which sweeps up and down the frequency range via LFO with a 30 second period.  Another LFO pans left/right with a 1 minute period.

No effects on Track 2.  It sounded too glorious as-is.  I lost a few hours just listening to that…  :)

I routed everything below 100Hz to a separate effects track with a -5dB gainer to help tame some of the bass.  

For the Master track, I have a 5kHz lowpass filter to eliminate some high frequency detritus, and a bus compressor to bring up some of the quiet bits and even out some of the spiky dynamics.

There's Nowhere

Nebulous

This piece was written for the Winter Solstice - I performed it live at a venue in Salem, MA. My friend Phil Wyman sat in on ambient guitar....one of several improvisational jams we've done to my music.

A storm is inbound during late evening, and the darkened sky has gotten an orange tone. Wind gusts almost makes the light rain go horizontal. A small group of people are sailing near coast on a wooden, creaking boat, its wheelhouse lit by a flickering lantern that provides a spot of warm colored light. Trying to make it ashore and indoors before the storm arrives.
